Down a dangerous road,i have come to where i'm standing With a heavy heart,and my hat clutched in my hand Such a foolish fool,God ain't known no greater sinner I have come in search of Jesus,hoping he will understand
I had a woman once,she was kind and she was gentle Had a child by me,who grew up to be a man I had a steady job,til i started into drinking And i started making music that went with the devil's band
Oh the years flew by like a mighty rush of eagles My dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind It's a lonesome life,when you lose the ones you live for If i make my peace with Jesus will they take me back again
If i give my soul,will he cleanse these clothes i'm wearin' If i give my soul,will he put new boots on my feet If i bow my head and beg God for his forgiveness Will he breathe new breath inside me and give back my dignity
If i give my soul,will he stop my hands from shaking If i give my soul,will my son love me again If i give my soul,and she knows i really mean it If i give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again
If i give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again
